I will still pay whatever retail charges because i still want to buy these figures. If i find them at retail before my bbts order ships, i will buy them. Then i will cancel my bbts order and await the next wave of figures and vehicles...
Do i like the price increase?, no i don't. But collecting GI Joe is something i choose to do, not have to do. Therefor, if i want them bad enough, i will pay whatever retail charges for them...

I was awaiting this.
Oddly enough I think it's going to actually save me money in the long run. I have left numerous troop builders and other figs hanging on the pegs as I now have to save my pennies for the new stuff that is coming out. Yay |

True, I guess the price to WM could jump with Wave 7. It just sucks WM and now Target choose to rake us over the coals before they get a price increase, this is not a fact I don't have concrete proof just info from these boards that WM and Target have yet to see an increase on their cost.

Well I just checked my Targets and they are still priced at $5.99.
So I guess we will have to wait and see if they change their prices too... I hope not... |

So, you've had that many cases come through your store ? Are these still tough to find ? Retailers are going to change the price once the D.C. receives their shipment . They are just making the extra on what they currently have and getting the jump on price changes most likely.

the thing that annoys me the most about the price increases is that most of the stores (around here anyway) had nothing for a couple months...except wave 1 comic packs and now when they start getting stuff again, they raise the price. That's BS in my book, but it is what it is I suppose...I'm glad I have a lot of stuff preordered on BBTS before the increases so I'll be set through wave 9/wave 1 vehicles/wave 1 DVD sets. Unless of course they cancel the preorders because they want to get more money, too...I doubt that happens, but man...you just never know with some of these companies.

Ok well if it is Hasbro and not Walmart who is doing this then explain this to me. Why is it that I just got back from the evil empire and got my little girl a my little pony that also is made by hasbro and another of their top selling products and it is now 3.88 where just before they raised the prices of GI Joe figures it was 4.96. If it has been confirmed by employees of WM and Target both that the cost is the same why would they raise one and lower the other? Due to sales? No. I was looking for one that my little girl wants and Walmart was empty on the shelves the other day. When I asked if there were anymore in the back they said no they would be getting a shipment in soon. They got the shipment in last night and today they were fully stocked. So this isn't a case of wanting to get rid of what they had in backstock it is a case of lowering the price on one thing and ripping us off on something else.
You know they should remove the hand sanitizer dispensers and replace it with KY Jelly |
